Nine-member board of directors includes four women
BOULDER, Colo. – November 20, 2017 – Zayo Group Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: ZAYO) received national and regional recognition last week for gender balance on its board of directors. With four women on its nine-member board, Zayo’s board is more than 40 percent female, which puts Zayo in the top echelon of companies nationwide.

The Women’s Forum of New York, the city’s premier organization of women leaders, recognized Zayo as one of 43 companies on the S&P500 and Fortune 1000 meeting this threshold at “Breakfast of Corporate Champions” event. Held November 14, the breakfast brought together corporate leaders and media personalities to recognize the nation’s leaders.

On November 15, the Women’s Leadership Foundation, a Colorado organization that works to place women on corporate and community boards, recognized Zayo with the Corporate Salute award. Zayo is one of five public companies in Colorado with four or more women on its boards.

“Zayo is committed to building a durable and impactful company, and developing a diverse and talented team is essential to this long-term journey,” said Dan Caruso, Zayo’s chairman and CEO. “All of our board members, including our four women, bring deep experience, strong credentials and unique perspectives. The diversity of backgrounds and gender makes our board strong.”

Zayo’s women board members include Cathy Morris, senior vice president and chief strategy officer at Arrow Electronics; Nina Richardson, managing director of Three Rivers Energy and former COO of GoPro; Linda Rottenberg, co-founder and CEO of Endeavor and author of the “Crazy is a Compliment”; and Emily White, former COO of Snapchat.
